Investment thesis

Paceline targets private equity, corporate debt, and real asset investments in North America. On the private equity side, it pursues value-focused control buyouts in situations where asset- or market-level complexity exists, including owners seeking liquidity and growth capital, joint ventures, corporate divestitures, turnarounds, and restructurings, collaborating with management teams to grow businesses and unlock operational value. In corporate debt, it focuses on complex, idiosyncratic, or misunderstood credit opportunities across the capital structure, from senior loans to preferred equity, including newly originated capital solutions, acquisitions of performing and non-performing credits, and distressed debt. Its real assets strategy covers real estate loans, mezzanine and traditional financing, direct or portfolio equity acquisitions, and special situations.
